Album information
Scream if You Wanna Go Faster includes a cover version of the Weather Girls "It's Raining Men" (1983) and a continuation of the message Halliwell encouraged when she had been a part of the Spice Girls, "Girl Power", is featured on the song "Strength of a Woman". The album frequently moves away from Halliwell's pop origins as she had begun composing more ballads such as "Calling" and "Circles Around the Moon". Said Halliwell about Scream if You Wanna Go Faster, "There's deeper meaning underneath if you care and chose to look. Some of it is deep as puddle, some of it is a bottomless pit, like a well."Track listing
